As a workers' comp attorney, I have more than 17 years of experience in handling workplace injury claims involving:
- Neck injury
- Shoulder injury
- Back injury
- Loss of use of arm, leg, or other extremity
- Loss of hand, leg, foot or any part of an extremity
- Complete or partial loss of sight or hearing
- Disfiguring scars
Many of these injuries can result in total disability or partial disability, which results in a loss of earning capacity, or the difference between what a person made before the work accident and what he or she is capable of earning after. I work closely with rehabilitation experts, life care planners, treating physicians, and other specialists to determine what work my client can do and what expenses and losses he or she should be compensated for. I also handle claims involving the death of an employee.
Important Timelines After a Work Injury
If you have been injured at work, quick action is important. You have 120 days after the day of your accident to notify your employer of the accident and your injury. Notice may include a written or verbal announcement of what happened, or it may be understood that your employer is notified if an ambulance was called. If you do not put your employer on notice within the 120-day limit, you may not be able to make a claim or collect workers' compensation at all.
You have three years from the day of your work accident to actually file your workers' compensation claim. When you contact me, I will go to work immediately to investigate the accident, talk with eyewitnesses, review medical reports, and gather evidence to support your claim.
The Workers' Compensation Process After a Work Injury
After an employee suffers a workplace injury, he or she must see a doctor approved by the employer's insurance company, called a panel physician. While most injured workers would prefer to see their own personal doctors, seeing an approved doctor is an important step of the process. After 90 days, if you still need medical care, you are free to be treated by your own doctor.
To build a strong workers' compensation claim, your doctor needs to provide a complete medical review about your injury and its connection to your accident at work. Depending on the severity of your injury and how long it affects you, I can secure medical proofs from medical specialists to substantiate your claim.
Once your claim is filed, I will either litigate it to secure a positive verdict or negotiate a settlement with your employer's insurance company. I have handled workers' compensation claims since 1990, and I can be the strong advocate you need when you have been injured. Call me at 610-559-0690 or contact my firm to schedule a free initial consultation.
